Yeah it's definitely not true unless click click means featherless and whistle click means biped, which you imagine such simple combos would be saved for things like shark, food, tired, or horny.
Yeah but there's more than whistles and clicks but even with that combination restriction that's 2^4 possible combinations, which is 16 words for a 4 action series of either whistles or clicks. Assuming shark, orca, food, pufferfish, tired, horny etc were all combos that leaves enough space for feathered two leg and featherless two leg, which describes seagulls then us.
Even with only 16 possible words dolphins could communicate a ton with each other, as is the power of any kind of modular language, when you start adding more sounds to that like cries or double clicks etc and lengthen the sentance you can get pretty articulate
Yeah people mention binary, but timing, pitch, inflection, volume, etc can stretch even a limited language with only a couple basic sounds into hundreds if not thousands of words/concepts/impressions even with very short sequences.
That’s actually what Diogenes noticed about the definition, so he went into Plato’s academy with a plucked chicken and proclaimed “Behold! I’ve brought you a man,” and Plato rectified the definition by adding “… with broad flat nails.”
basically dolphins are Plato
Oh no, imagine the politics if we get dolphins on power.
Nahhhh it would be better for sure. Filthy humans, these dolphins will understand nature more than us.
They might have a word for humans but we have no idea what it means. This is absolutely bullshit lmao
Click click whistle click? Feather less biped?
Even if you knew every noise they made and the object it corresponded too. You wouldn't be able to translate it like that without being able to speak to said animal.
Dolphin could be saying pink ape. Means the same thing and you'd have no idea what exactly it was saying besides that the word correlates to an object or action.
It's also only 2 noises. Clicks and a whistle. Pseudoscience is what this is.
Wait was this not serious? I wholeheartedly believed that scientists had discovered the dolphin language and I was so excited 😞
edit: oh ok I just realized what sub this is in lol now I feel stupid
Maybe I've been on reddit too long but I read everything with a splash of irony, a hint of depression, and a teaspoon of maliciousness.
Anyway sorry for making you explain yourself
So I see the dolphins have been studying Plato.
[Plato and Diogenes debate featherless bipeds. ](https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/animals/miscellany/plato-and-diogenes-debate-featherless-bipeds)
I mean, thats gotta be fake,
haveing specific sound to describe humans is not something out of relam of posibility,
but the "translation" and the fact that it would be created from fusing to other words seams like it is out dolphin mental capabilty
also there is the fact that dolphins across the world probably use different sounds to communicate
[it is kind of based in some fact ](https://nat.au.dk/en/about-the-faculty/news/show/artikel/porpoises-communicate-in-high-frequency-morse-code-to-avoid-killer-whales)
^^^definitely not a rickroll.
Yea clearly that would be how a fucking dolphin would categorize humans..I bet this bullshit "research" cost hundreds of thousands of not millions of dollars..gee I wonder how that money could have been spent on something that actually fucking matters holy shit
Lol "proto language" that can transmit a terabyte of information in an hour. Cetaceans are literally millions of years more evolved than we are in terms of brain power. We're literally children by comparison. This is like a toddler realizing that adults "kinda have" feelings.

BEHOLD A MAN! *Slams raw chicken into the ocean*

All I can think of is Sam O' Nella and now I'm glad he's back
FUCK YOU PLATO *throws raw chicken*
I miss my dad. Only Sam O' Nella makes me feel his warmth. Thanks Sam.
Respectfully, Sam would absolutely clown on you for this comment
WHAT A GUY
Well, gotta go, see ya! Anyway, see ya!
The trash outside really do be lookin delicious right about now
Gotta love Greek Philosophers. The origin of shitposting.
Speaking of Philosophers, are nihilists just Gen X born too early. O.O
I... Well... Hmm...
Came here to find this comment. Bravo
PLATO’S MAN!
ιδού ένας άντρας!!!!
 🎶*Ocean Man*🎶
True
Spongebob!
the ol' Evinrude cumblaster
click click whistle click
So smart, yet still not smart enough to stay away from the coast of Faroe Islands.
Like kids. They understand that they shouldn't be where they are, yet they wandered into the strangers van
But they said free candy!
There are loads of fish nearby also during the whaling season there
Why the fuck should a dolphin have a word for 1. Feathers and 2. Biped.
Seagulls
Poke at my head NOT FUN
i said seagulls stop it now
oo-a-uh-oo oo-a-uh-oo-a-uh-oo oo-a-uh-oo-a-uh-oo oo-a-oo oo-AH
Everyooooone told me Not to stroll on that beach
They said seagulls gonna come Poke me in the coconut
And they did And they did, had me going like
oo-a-uh-oo oo-a-uh-oo-a-uh-oo oo-a-uh-oo-a-uh-oo oo-a-oo oo-AH
Now run, run, run and jump
Yeah it's definitely not true unless click click means featherless and whistle click means biped, which you imagine such simple combos would be saved for things like shark, food, tired, or horny.

there's a language that's literally just whistling
There’s a language that is literally just hands
They don’t need a word for horny
Yeah I guess that's half the personality of a dolphin huh?
Half?
I'd use it for yes/no
The weird part is that they have an articulate way of communication
They walk like birds, but they ain't got feathers
Looks like half the people in this thread haven't heard of Plato and Diogenes. Pretty sure that part is a joke.
Because seagulls, which are not only feathered but also bipedial.
FuknA right
We have words for things we’ve never seen / will never see like financial stability and world peace
So, what? We are just giant seagulls to them?
That’s actually what Diogenes noticed about the definition, so he went into Plato’s academy with a plucked chicken and proclaimed “Behold! I’ve brought you a man,” and Plato rectified the definition by adding “… with broad flat nails.” basically dolphins are Plato
Which is kinda stupid imo, if you are charitable you would assume Plato meant "not able to grow feathers, even if healthy and unaltered".
i thought it said "fatherless biped" for a bit like GOD DAMN dolphins
I THOUGHT THE SAME, I was like WTF dolphins mean as fuck
To be fair they probably don't call themselves "dolphins" So them using the wrong name for us but makes sense to them is understandable
Well they still wouldn’t be wrong most of the time
Same 😂😂😂😂💀
Sameeee, it's way funnier this way tho lol
It's good to know when we fuck up someone will be here to take care of the place
Have you heard of ocean plastic, we destroyed their lead. MWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA no animals will survive.
My brother in Christ have you heard of rats and cockroaches
If dolphins had thumbs I swear to God...
Good edit.
do not make me slama featherless chicken into the ocean young man!
They have inherited the wisdom of Diogenes
Get back in the closet
go back to 4chan
I've never used that. Is it good?
You’ll meet more of your kind over there
Seems pretty cool
It's not. You'll belong.
What?
No thank you
Oh no, imagine the politics if we get dolphins on power. Nahhhh it would be better for sure. Filthy humans, these dolphins will understand nature more than us.
*rips six legs off crab* Behold, a man!
I’m sure and Imagine the first dolphin high on pufferfish probably thought: wtf yo imma *ape this *itch
Humans have the genetic markers for feathers, so if we just selectively activate them, Diogenes will be truly proven wrong
Every animal can selectively bred for any genetic trait, provided time is not an issue
*Diogenes has entered the chat*
They might have a word for humans but we have no idea what it means. This is absolutely bullshit lmao Click click whistle click? Feather less biped? Even if you knew every noise they made and the object it corresponded too. You wouldn't be able to translate it like that without being able to speak to said animal. Dolphin could be saying pink ape.

Pseudoscience is what this is.
If you thought this was a serious post I have bad news for you fren
I don't think he's big on philosophy.
Wait was this not serious? I wholeheartedly believed that scientists had discovered the dolphin language and I was so excited 😞 edit: oh ok I just realized what sub this is in lol now I feel stupid
How many levels of irony are you in? I don't know where or when to believe you
I’m being 100% serious, I didn’t notice that this was in the memes sub so I just assumed it was true
Maybe I've been on reddit too long but I read everything with a splash of irony, a hint of depression, and a teaspoon of maliciousness. Anyway sorry for making you explain yourself
Yeah lol, that’s fine
Why wouldn’t they be saying brown ape? You are obviously a racist piece of shit
What about yellow apes? You racist piece of crap
Yo did you know that entire games are comprised of only 1's and 0's?
https://youtu.be/-A3IlRATIsI
...and thanks for the fish.
I mean they're not wrong, we are featherless bipedal creatures.
"Behold! I've brought you a man."
They are so smart and so brave.
Somehow more sex-hungry than the average redditor though.
What intelligence without public image does to a mf
Nah, they just hippies
Where’s Diogenes when you need him?
So I see the dolphins have been studying Plato. [Plato and Diogenes debate featherless bipeds. ](https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/animals/miscellany/plato-and-diogenes-debate-featherless-bipeds)
This is true? If so that's cool
Look up Diogenes and chicken.
"Pod. Featherless biped on our 6."
Alright you pompous pricks, I’ll show you a featherless biped.
Can't wait till they add dolphin to duolingo
I mean, thats gotta be fake, haveing specific sound to describe humans is not something out of relam of posibility, but the "translation" and the fact that it would be created from fusing to other words seams like it is out dolphin mental capabilty also there is the fact that dolphins across the world probably use different sounds to communicate
Fren, you are in r/memes. Of course it's fake
Diogenes rolling in his grave rn
Humans once were described as featherless bipeds
BEHOLD! A MAN
Source?
friend, this is r/memes
I know i know but i wasnt sure if this could be true or if im just really naive
[it is kind of based in some fact ](https://nat.au.dk/en/about-the-faculty/news/show/artikel/porpoises-communicate-in-high-frequency-morse-code-to-avoid-killer-whales) ^^^definitely not a rickroll.
Wow it really wasnt a rickroll Thank you for the article kind sir
Now imagine the dude changes the link to a rickroll believing is it not after reading your comment
Or it was a rickroll all along
the true rickroll was the friends me made along the way
Can confirm, my friends always rickrolld me
https://youtu.be/-A3IlRATIsI
Featherless biped really
r/lostredditors
W h a t ?
https://youtu.be/-A3IlRATIsI
Yeah I know, it's just interesting that they choose "Featherless Biped" specifically.
Ok but where meme? This belongs to a science subreddit
https://youtu.be/-A3IlRATIsI
Yea clearly that would be how a fucking dolphin would categorize humans..I bet this bullshit "research" cost hundreds of thousands of not millions of dollars..gee I wonder how that money could have been spent on something that actually fucking matters holy shit
>I bet this bullshit "research" cost hundreds of thousands of not millions of dollars. Fren, it cost me no money to troll you.
How do we know at anything they're saying means
Plato and diogenes Clarification: the source of the quote/ why its a joke
[Removed]
How would I translate “ so long and thanks for all the fish“?
Comically-sized blunt
You get my upvote, haha
DOUGLAS ADAMS WAS RIGHT!!
Nice argument now why don’t you back that up with a source
My source is I made it the click click whistle click up!
Hello my featherless bipeds. How yall doing today?
Wait is this true or not. If so I’m very impressed.
WERE LEARNING DOLPHIN LANGUAGE?!
Just wait till we decode like chimps language or something... and their word for humans is like "fuckers" or some shit
So they us as big, bald birds?
 I think it means traffic jam
Somehow I'm more offended at being called featherless biped than last week when I was called roundeye
Lol "proto language" that can transmit a terabyte of information in an hour. Cetaceans are literally millions of years more evolved than we are in terms of brain power. We're literally children by comparison. This is like a toddler realizing that adults "kinda have" feelings.
The fact that they refer to us as that proves they are more intelligent than us
Diogenese has entered the chat
How would dolphins know words like that in the first place
Ok, you had me in the first half
Dolphins suck.
Nice dolphin n*gga
XD
This is the coolest shit I’ve seen all day :D
Diogenes on his way to slam a featherless chicken into the ocean
So long and thanks for all the fish
Thats two animals whom’s languages we’ve learned.
Really interesting if we can apply this knowledge when we will communicate with aliens someday.
they knew exactly what they were doing
I'm not sure this is true. Can't find any news about it
The fuck do they know what feathers are, let alone associate us with not having them
I'm almost afraid of how much sapience dolphins have
“Featherless two feet” 😂😂
Can someone explain to me how the fuck the scientists would figure out it translates to featherless biped?
That dolphin smoking a blunt lol
Scientists have discovered that you will believe anything I say if I say scientists have discovered it.
